"Hee chul?.." Jeongguk didn't feel anything but rage, anger and exasperation. Why does Taehyung have the picture of this criminal?. At some point he doesn't want to be mad at the younger, without knowing the whole truth behind this. He grasp Taehyung's arm softly yet everything seems cold.

"Ggukie why? Is there something bothering you?" Taehyung look carefully on Jeongguk's face and was about to hug the older, when Jeongguk step back.

"Is there something wrong?.."Taehyung felt a little nervous seeing Jeongguk acting this way, looking at him as if he was a stone.

On the other hand Jeongguk let go of Taehyung's arm and walk himself towards the car. He flip his hair back to his head, trying his best to calm down, and to not burst out infront on the younger because its not gonna help him, especially on his condition.
"Just follow me in the car.." The older stated.

------

Taehyung had never felt so scared in riding a car. Their car ride was silent yet so fast. Jeongguk didn't utter to speak or talk to him, but he kept on hitting the stirring wheel. Which Taehyung has definitely no idea why the older is doing that. They were just happy an hour ago, Jeongguk just told him how much he missed him, but now he's acting this way. Taehyung closed his eyes, and placed his head to the window of the car.

It was almost an hour but they're still on the road, and Taehyung doesn't have any idea where were they going. Since then Jeongguk didn't speak to him. So he gathered all his courage to finally ask, what was happening.

"Jeongguk? Please, can you speak for once. I'm so worried." Taehyung spoke fiddling with the hem of his shirt, head lowered down.

Jeongguk didn't answer but the car stopped somewhere in the middle of nowhere. Its really dark and the only thing that gives them a light was the light from the car. Taehyung decided to lit the flashlight from his phone, and was surprised of the sight.

Their house when he was a kid. Its the strawberry farm, it has changed a lot but the houses that are almost falling apart was still there. Taehyung has no idea why Jeongguk and him would go to Daegu right at this hour.

Jeongguk went outside the car, and Taehyung followed him. The wind was blowing soothingly and the younger admits that he kinda felt good about it. Still he doesn't know why Jeongguk's doing all of this.

The older reached for his pocket, and took something out. He then asked the blonde which made Taehyung confuse.
"Taehyung?.. Can you tell me who's this guy in the photo?.."Jeongguk look him in the eye and finally speak, seems like something is holding him back. On the other hand, Taehyung was surprised how did the older got the photo, it was place on his wallet and why does he wanna know about his family?.

"He's my father, why? can i have the photo back?" Taehyung steps forward and was about to grab the picture from Jeongguk's hand but the older crumpled it giving all his strength and throw it away.

Taehyung can't feel anything but pain, curiosity, he has lots of questions. He can't understand what's happening. Why would Jeongguk throw the only memory he has from his parents.

"Jeongguk?.. Please answer me, why would you do that?. Its hurting me.." Taehyung started to cry at this point. He's caressing his chest trying his best to calm down, but he can't bare seeing the person he love, throwing away the only memory he have just like that.

"Why? Taehyung? Do you think you're the only one who was hurting?.. That guy from the photo you have 'intentionally' killed my parents, and this place? I know your hundred percent familiar with it. This is what your parents wants right? to inherit our farm?.. My families farm? To get all the businesses my parents work hard for!" Jeongguk's tears urging to fall but holding himself back on the other hand Taehyung was in a utter shock when he heard the things, the older just spit out.

Taehyung knew he's step father was bad guy but killing people, for money?..
The younger felt weak on his knees. This is too much for him to bare, but he wants to know the whole truth and only the truth, but seeing Jeongguk crying his heart out wasn't helping.

"Jeongguk?.."Taehyung was about to give the older a hug and comfort him to calm his tears down but Jeongguk walks away to him, and didn't even looked at him as if he was a contagious disease.
"Taehyung, you live your life happily and complete when you're a kid. How about me? You're father killed my parents, my whole life is a mess. Taehyung i was a child back then, and i lost someone important in my life. Its not just someone in my life but my whole self, I lost everything. I can't take it-" Jeongguk was cut off by a crying Taehyung who was now almost screaming his lungs out.

"Jeongguk?! Who said i live my life happily as a kid?.. I was abused by my own father, my step father! Do you know how much hit, how much painful words he told me?! He ruined me, and my mother we suffered like hell! I know i don't have an idea about the things you've gone through and i feel sorry about it, but please! try to understand the situation.." Taehyung was crying so much. Under the skies and those thousands of stars, watching both of them suffering.

"I didn't know my father would kill anybody, because eventually he left us saying he got a job and he'll never comeback! Jeongguk, I'm sorry.. I'm saying sorry on behalf of my father.. Please.. I don't know anything.. Don't be mad at me." Taehyung kneeled down on his knees, asking for forgiveness which made Jeongguk broken into tiny pieces. On the other hand Taehyung has no idea why was he doing this. Why was he begging someone to forgive him. He's step father was dead after all. All Taehyung wants now is Jeongguk's forgiveness, and he'll do anything to earn that.

Love is such a powerful thing, that can make you weak, happy, and even stupid, but Love is the purest thing you'll ever felt to someone who could give it back to you, and for Taehyung that is with Jeongguk. He can never afford to lose him after all that he had gone through. He doesn't care if he's acting so pathetic right now, but all he wants was forgiveness and build Jeongguk's trust to him.

"Taehyung stop, you don't have to kneeled down.. I'm sorry I blamed you for all this.."Jeongguk was regretting how he burst his anger out, knowing the youngers condition. But still Taehyung cried his eyes out and did'nt get up from the ground.

Jeongguk made him stand and hugged him. Taehyung hugged back not until the older felt the weight of Taehyung on his shoulder.

"Taehyung?.. wake up, Taehyung i'm here.."
